Africans run faster!

by Nippel • 18 Apr 2007, 18:30 • Journals
Hi

The topic of journal is the topic of some dissertation i got to do.

I'm building the hypothese that (east)-africans can run faster, because they their genotype differs from the european in some cases, because they lived at a plateau generations ago.

I need some graph about the erythrocyte (blood cells)percentage of africans at sea level compared with europeans, if it is the same.

And I need a graph with the oxidative enzym activity, which shows that this is relevant higher !

Sry for my english

Can you help ? Please <3

its because they have more red blood cells

really, i read it is because other enzym activitys and the blodd cells are from africans at sea level is the same !

Don't their genes also cause them to develop more fast-twitch fibres than most caucasions?

yes but this not important on long distance, and you can train your fast switch type to the same level.

I heard that swedish people got the best aims from a reliable source, but online only.

Ooh only the "oxidative enzym activity", wtf?

Here's my theory:

They run faster, because:
1. They have more time to practise
2. Because they don't have cars, they have to run/walk a long distance to reach a nearby village to get some water.

But your explanation sounds interesting as well.

black athletes are the consequence of the slavery in USA because the cotton fields owners forced the strongest men and women to have sex together and children and they let the weak ones together.
Thats why some blacks are outstanding athletes thanks to their ADN.
Edit: thats what a professor said....

They're built for running imho. They have bigger average muscle mass than Europeans (Americans win in fat mass). They're taller which makes legs longer and they have short wide noses = larger intake. Unlike European noses which are made to warm up air.

Beside that Europeans developed much earlier and became "geeks" sooner which than affected our evolution, no more need for bruts who could kill a bear with hand only just to survive.

Maybe it's because they radiate more heat http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/f/0/9/f0964fa9b07851c2b0f5814d72628eb0.png (darker objects emit more heat) :D

And i have no fucking idea what you wrote bout enzyms.
